It's now possible to make money from social media beyond endorsements. For Van Allen Aliparo, a former graphic designer, CapCut has been the key to becoming your own boss. CapCut is a mobile video editing app popular on TikTok and Instagram. It pays template creators based on how many people use their work.
Aliparo was previously an in-house graphic designer before he started working full-time on CapCut templates. According to him, the career switch was both rewarding in terms of creativity and income. “I earn P60,000 to P80,000 per month,” Aliparo said. He creates 2 to 3 templates per week and sometimes, just one template can bring in ₱52,000 (from $913).
According to Aliparo, most of the revenue comes from users in the US and Europe. His most popular template has been used by 43,000 subscribers. Travel videos are the most in-demand template, followed by daily life vlogs, birthday, couple, music, culture, and party edits.
Aliparo said that as long as you have talent and creativity, you can earn money through the CapCut Template Creator Program. It provides an opportunity for those who want to make an income by creating trendy templates for social media.
